I think https://www.cybrary.it/ is pretty good for free lessons. You can combine it with VMs like https://www.offensive-security.com/metasploit-unleashed/requ... and those from https://www.vulnhub.com/ for a bit of hands-on. Also, you can get a lot of information specific to your language, like http://guides.rubyonrails.org/security.html and https://github.com/presidentbeef/brakeman to look at real apps, to see what can go wrong.

Oh, and there are some good podcasts, too. Like Risky Business, 7 minute security, Liquidmatrix, Security now... 7 minute security just had a decent series on how to set up a DIY $500 pentesting lab, for example (https://vimeo.com/179271256).

Finding some famous pentesters to follow on Twitter can't hurt, either.

That seems like an awesome resource! I can't believe all those courses are free.
